Letter from the Producer VII

[Peregrine]

Don't be surprised if the holiday event IS 70% of the new patch content, because holiday events have been 70% of our new content to date. They're scrapping for easy points, and the players are letting them.

No more holiday events until 1 significant area of content is released, IMO. No more 1-shot pointless quests.

Or because they're redesigning the game which will take awhile to do.

"No more basic stuff, I don't care that the game's foundation is broken, GIVE ME CONTENT!"

I bet you'll be the first to complain about balance issues too with said content.

[Jericho]

Please go back and reread the timeline and patch notes from FFXI.

Cheer the hell up.

It'll get better.

WHAT? new dungeon but still don't fix anything in combat system???

you want me to use Flare and another awful AM's, waiting 25 seconds, cost 100MP and do 50 damage? with the animation I can't see if I blink my eyes? what do you expect players to do in the new dungeon? use their weapon hit monsters and spam 1 1 1 1 1 1 ?

*sigh*

You too?

False. You cannot reasonably assume we won't be getting content. The only thing we know is that we are getting seasonal content, but we aren't getting the raids yet. We have no information as to what other content may or may not be in the patch.

We could quite possibly be getting combat changes. In fact, it's actually quite likely. 70% of the original patch cannot be the seasonal content. Just because it wasn't mentioned in the Producer's letter doesn't mean it's not coming.

I sort of assumed that "preparations for the mid- and high-rank PvE content planned for later release" was implying that they were going to fix up the combat a bit... Hopefully they'll add auto-attack.

[Evangela]

why you need the players poll? even if we vote for "We spend our time in the game for battle!!!!!" then your first priority task must be fix the damn battle system, fix the damn action bar, the damn targeting, the damn skill animations, the damn skill balance, the damn attributes effective

I just love assumptions
